I missed a session at the gym.

Sorry to let you all down but I have missed my first session at the gym. I didn’t go to work today for reasons I won’t be disclosing and I also missed the gym this morning. I think that 6/7 months in is a pretty good crack. I hope that you don’t feel that I have let you down. Selfishly I am not worried that I have missed a session. In fact this afternoon I wanted to do some exercise but I didn’t want to do it inside. Anyway I got out my pushbike and went for a ride around our newish neighbourhood. I discovered a bike path (which by the way has been there for ages… ha ha)! I only discovered it at its mid point so when it is a bit brighter I will venture along the whole path and see where it takes me. One of you might have to come and pick me up if goes too far away!

While my bike ride wasn’t as long or as intensive as what it would be in the gym, I felt it to be more satisfying. The fresh air was a nice change and the change of scenery was great also. I saw the biggest, ugliest house that I will be having another look in the daylight for sure.

Pooks and I went for a drive to Mt Stromlo yesterday. It was great being able to get out of the Ute and walk around the hills and not be puffed straight away. They have a really good set up there for Mountain Bikers. The elevation of the track that we were looking at is 187m. While I would love to say that I would love to have a crack at it I would be too scared.

So this begins the start of another week and for some the start of our next uni semester. Are the holidays over already?

You have not let anyone down, you have more than paid your dues to the 'fitness gurus' and 'fellow weight loss' people of the world. The bike ride sounds wonderful. I too had today off work and I had my hair done. Cut and coloured. Style not changed though, my normal spiky 'do'.
Oh BTW wonderful BB result.

Good for you having a nice time at Mt Stromlo with Mr Pooks, and even better that you went for a bike ride today. Glad you're enjoying the rediscovery of fun things to do that weren't so fun for you for a while.

The main thing is that you are exercising and where or how isn't the issue. Good on you :-)
